We are on the road a lot (day travel only; you will be home each evening, unless out of town work is scheduled for a project), outdoors in varying types of weather, city/residential neighborhoods, and sometimes in remote and challenging locations.

This position is a remote hybrid role, meaning employees will work remotely from the field or home, but may be required to come into the Stow, Ohio office to retrieve/return their company vehicle or for training and collaboration in the office.

Standard office equipment will be provided to work in the office.
